The clients, leased a 2100 sq ft, 3 Bedroom Condo suite with an option-to-buy clause which they executed after they arranged to buy the adjacent 720 sq ft, 1 Bedroom Condo Suite. The plan was to give the 3 Bedroom suite to the triplets and create a master suite ‘oasis’ for the parents with an internal connection.
We needed to internally connect the units developed a scheme for the projects totality, the project was split into two phases: Phase 1 was to totally renovate the 3 Bedroom Suite to be consistent with Phase 2. And Phase 2 was the complete transformation of a 1 Bedroom Suite into the Master Suite, worthy of a 2800 sq ft, 4 Bedroom Suite.
The suite boasts a full south exposure and east and west light; one of the children’s bedrooms occupies the South West Corner which is adjacent to the Dining Area on the South Wall. We designed a Transforming Bedroom in the South West corner; with a Murphy Bed and a retractable Wood Wall . So that when the kids were at school, the clients could open up and claim that space and enjoy the sunset from their dinner table.
For the most part, this project relies on Millwork pieces to define spaces. And in the transformation of the Master Suite, we added a double vanity on an existing plumbing wall, turned the kitchen into a Walk-In Shower, decommissioned the Washer/Dryer, defined a Kind Size bedroom space and then treated all other area as an opportunity for custom designed storage, from which one withdrew corridor space.
In other words, rather than place storage off of a corridor, we made everything Millwork storage and subtracted a corridor from it. Resultantly, every cubic millimeter of Millwork storage was custom designed and fitted to the space.
